Things To Do in Sunset Park

Located south of Park Slope, Sunset Park is a neighborhood full of diversity and interesting sights. The 25 acre park for which it was named, has breathtaking views of the Statue of Liberty, the Manhattan skyline, Staten Island and New Jersey. The park also offers basketball and handball courts, an Olympic size swimming pool in the hotter months, a sand volleyball court, nature trails and a September 11th memorial.

Sunset Park also offers a Tree Lighting Ceremony the first Thursday after Thanksgiving. The kids can have their picture taken with Santa in front of the 18 foot Christmas tree and the children will receive a goody bag.

Santa will be aboard handing out candy canes to the little ones.
